The 4th International Autumn School on Proof Theory in Utrecht is arranged 
under the auspices of The Proof Society and organised by the universities of 
Amsterdam and Utrecht. The Proof Society has recently been formed to support 
the notion of proof in its broadest sense, through a series of suitable 
activities; to be therefore inclusive in reaching out to all scientific areas 
which consider proof as an object in their studies; to enable the community to 
shape its future by identifying, formulating and communicating its most 
important goals; to actively promote proof to increase its visibility and

The aim of the Autumn school is to cover basic and advanced topics in proof 
theory. The focus of the fourth edition will be computational content of 
proofs, sequent calculi, proof complexity, proof theory of set theory, and 
philosophical aspects of proof. Other areas will be represented through 
research talks at the following workshop. The intended audience is advanced 
master students, PhD students, postdocs and experienced researchers in 
mathematics, computer science and philosophy.  

The Autumn school is co-located with a workshop on proof theory in Utrecht 
(11-12 November). We invite proposals for contributed talks at the workshop. 
These can be on published or unpublished work, as well as work in progress. The 
best talk presented by a student will receive an award from The Proof Society.

[TYPES/announce] PhD position in Derivation Systems for Modal Fixpoint Logics

2021-05-17 Thread Bahareh Afshari
[ The Types Forum (announcements only),
 http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]

We are looking for a PhD candidate for a research project Derivation Systems 
for Modal Fixpoint Logics.

Many applications of modal logic, in particular in computer science, require 
the formalism to deal with various kinds of recursion. Modal fixpoint logics 
are  extensions of basic modal logic that deal with the concept of recursion in 
an elegant and fundamental way by adding operators or connectives that can 
express
recursive statements. Whereas semantic and computational aspects of these 
logics are by now reasonably well understood, the theory of proof systems for  
modal fixpoint logics has remained relatively underdeveloped.

The aim of the Derivation Systems for Modal Fixpoint Logics project is to 
develop a general and uniform theory of proof systems for modal fixpoint 
logics. Such a
theory will extend that of basic modal logics with proof systems that allow fo 
derivations that are circular or feature other mechanisms for dealing with the 
recursive nature of fixpoints. The envisaged methodology for designing and 
studying such proof systems will integrate insights from proof theory with 
ideas from the theories of automata, infinite games, and (co-)algebra.

The research project Derivation Systems for Modal Fixpoint Logics was awarded 
to Prof.Dr. Yde Venema by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research 
(NWO) in the ENW TOP grant programme. It is part of a larger project on proof 
systems for modal fixpoint logics, directed by Venema together with Dr. Bahareh 
Afshari.

The 1st International Summer School for Proof Theory in Ghent is arranged
under the auspices of The Proof Society, and is sponsored by the Kurt Gödel
Society.  The Proof Society has recently been formed to support the notion
of proof in its broadest sense, through a series of suitable activities; to
be therefore inclusive in reaching out to all scientific areas which
consider proof as an object in their studies; to enable the community to
shape its future by identifying, formulating and communicating its most
important goals; to actively promote proof to increase its visibility and
representation.

The aim of the summer school is to cover basic and advanced topics in proof
theory.  The focus of the first edition will be on structural proof theory,
ordinal analysis, provability logic, automated theorem proving, and
philosophical aspects of proof.  Other areas like reverse mathematics,
proof mining, and proof complexity will be covered at the workshop, and in
follow up summer schools.  The intended audience is advanced master
students, PhD students, postdocs and experienced researchers in
mathematics, computer science and philosophy.

The summer school is co-located with a workshop on proof theory in Ghent
(6-7 September).  The workshop will be the inaugural meeting of The Proof
Society. Students are invited to apply with an informal abstract (1 page)

[TYPES/announce] International Summer School on Proof Theory

1st International Summer School on Proof Theory
Ghent, September 2-5, 2018
http://www.proofsociety.org/summer-school-2018/

Workshop on Proof Theory
Ghent, September 6-7, 2018
http://www.proofsociety.org/workshop-2018/


The 1st International Summer School for Proof Theory in Ghent is
arranged under the auspices of The Proof Society, and is sponsored by
the Kurt Gödel Society.  The Proof Society has recently been formed to
support the notion of proof in its broadest sense, through a series of
suitable activities; to be therefore inclusive in reaching out to all
scientific areas which consider proof as an object in their studies;
to enable the community to shape its future by identifying,
formulating and communicating its most important goals; to actively
promote proof to increase its visibility and representation.

The aim of the summer school is to cover basic and advanced topics in
proof theory.  The focus of the first edition will be on structural
proof theory, ordinal analysis, provability logic, automated theorem
proving, and philosophical aspects of proof.  Other areas like reverse
mathematics, proof mining, and proof complexity will be covered at the
workshop, and in follow up summer schools.  The intended audience is
advanced master students, PhD students, postdocs and experienced
researchers in mathematics, computer science and philosophy.

The summer school is co-located with a workshop on proof theory in
Ghent (6-7 September).  The workshop will be the inaugural meeting of
The Proof Society. Students are invited to apply with an informal
abstract (1 page) to the poster session which will be held as part of
the workshop.

The summer school will provide six courses:
Cut Elimination by Matthias Baaz (TU Wien)

CL 2018: Classical Logic and Computation 2018 (Seventh of the series CL)
Oxford, UK, July 7, 2018
Conference website http://www.di.unito.it/~stefano/CL/CL
Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clc2018
Submission deadline March 19, 2018

This year, CL will be held as a satellite workshop of FSCD 2018
(former TLCA + RTA), see: http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/events/fscd2018/ .
CL is focused on the interplay between, on one side, the exploration
of the computational content of classical mathematical proofs, and on
the other side, the languages and the semantical models proposed in
computer science for this task: continuations, game models,
denotational models, learning models and so forth. The scientific aim
of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both proof
theory and computer science and to exchange ideas.

Invited Speaker: we are pleased to announce that Alex Simpson accepted
to be the invited speaker.

Submission Guidelines

There are two kind of submission: original papers not simultaneously
submitted to another journal or conferences, and short talk, not
intended for publication, for which multiple submissions are welcome.
For a short talk, just submit the abstract.

The following paper categories are welcome:

version of lambda calculi adapted to represent classical logic;
design of programming languages inspired by classical logic;
cut-elimination for classical systems;
proof representation for classical logic;
translations of classical to intuitionistic proofs;
constructive interpretation of non-constructive principles;
witness extraction from classical proofs;
constructive semantics for classical logic (e.g. game semantics,
classical realization);
case studies (for any of the previous points).

Proceedings will appear on EPTCS. We have room for informal talks,
too. Therefore participants are encouraged to present: work in
progress, overviews of more extensive work, and programmatic position
papers. All submitted papers will be reviewed to normal standards. The
PC recognises two kinds of papers: it will distinguish between
accepted (full) papers that contain unpublished results not submitted
elsewhere, which we publish on EPTCS, and presentations of (short)
papers about work in progress or overview of papers published
elsewhere. In order to make a submission:

Format your file using the EPTCS guidelines; there is a 15 page limit.
Use the submission instructions at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clc2018 .

Here are the important dates:

Paper submission: March, 19 2018
Notification: May, 15 2018
Final version due: May, 30 2018, 2018
Workshop date: July, 7, 2018
